This is ironic with the dollar down over 2% today.

And the loser of 2008 is ----> THE "I" FUND!!!!:blink:

... that WSJ article is behind the times. We talked about that when the dollar was in rally mode. It is clearly not anymore and won't be as long as we bailout and kill the dollar.

EAFE final up +$0.1182
minus FV Monday (previous) of -$0.2641 = -$0.1459
minus FV Monday (guess) of -$0.3000 = $0.4459

dollar down 1.92% = 76.24

-FV of 30 cents maybe to little.
I'm thinking more along the lines of 40-45 cents.:nuts:

The weak dollar in the Afternoon should keep the -FV closer to -30 cents range.

You may be correct.

The dollar dropped later in the afternoon is the reason that I went a little lower.

stay tune.

looks like an error to me?

Unless more folks moved into the I fund today. Barclays could give a higher buy price?:blink:

WOW, if you moved out of the I fund, you got a bonus. If you moved into the I fund, yikes!:nuts:

perhaps no -FV because Japan is closed for start of Autumn Day.

 

[Corvette]

Nikkei closed for holiday (first day of autumn)
AORD down 1.83%

FV for Tuesday (previous)= +$0.0000

 

[Corvette]

early EAFE estimate down -$0.0924
plus FV Tuesday (previous) of +$0.0000 = -$0.0924

dollar up .29% = 76.45

According to the end of day it showed down over 3%. Can someone explain why only 17 cents and no FV. Thanks in advance

I'm sure there will be a few posts to help explain the answer you seek in
greater detail. I just wanted to let you know that the Currency Exchange
Rate and the Fund Managers pouring extra money into the fund plays a
very big role as to why the EFA returns were so different then the (I) Fund
returns yesterday.

 

[Corvette]

EAFE estimate down -$0.1713
plus FV Tuesday (previous) of +$0.0000 = -$0.1713

Looking at today's results, it appears Barclays is more accurate than the I funders. The dollar was down about 2% yesterday and Japan is closed today.

I used an 11:00 time to figure what was missing in the dollar change after the final close of the EAFE quote. A 10:00 time might be a more accurate time. This is more noticeable with the big swing yesterday.

Today the EAFE did not go down much even thought Asia minus Japan was down about 2%. Europe was down 2% today, but the I fund is only down 17 cents today. It appears more dollar adjustment, although dollar is up today. The dollar was still lower than yesterday at 10:00. The dollar was down for the EAFE quote.

This may have sounded confusing. The reasons the cut off times for the dollar. Today the dollar is up, but the 10:00 time for the EAFE the dollar was down. :blink:

Since 10:00 today dollar is up. -FV today might be a good idea for Barclays especially with Japan open tomorrow.

We are not in -FV range, but I think Japan needs to catch up with the rest of the markets. Japan should be down big time tonight.
